Kimmel responded after Trump, 79, joked about not matching his parents’ 63-year marriage with Melania, 56, during a speech welcoming King Charles.
This came a day after Trump demanded Kimmel be fired for joking about the president’s marriage, calling it a "call to violence" following an apparent assassination attempt.
